SO WHY NOSTR?
All the major institutions have failed us! The incentives of these 20th-century corporate models do not lead to more freedom of individuals; they lead to more restrictions on individuals. The Bitcoin protocol when it was launched in 2009 changed the game by decentralising money away from the central banks. Now there is a real chance that the Nostr protocol could decentralise communication so individuals no longer need to rely on a few Silicon Valley Tech Giants to communicate their thoughts online without fear of being deplatformed. With Nostr relay servers you can be censored, but you can just jump to another relay that treats you better or just run your own Nostr relay. Like with bitcoin, you cannot be de-protocoled, which is why Nostr is understood to be censorship resistant.
